He did a quick design for me at our initial meeting and later did an official one to submit to my HOA. I spoke to half a dozen other contractors who all priced about the same for the work. What sold me was Steve's portfolio and how up front he was with everything. Not once did he try to sell my on something I didn't need or go beyond what I was asking for. We decided on a wood deck to match the majority of the homes in our HOA, and because we just like the look better. From the beginning of his crew showing up till the last piece of trash picked up they were extremely friendly and FAST!! They started on a Tuesday and finished by Friday for a 24'x16' deck that was 6' off the ground on uneven ground. Finish product was even better than the graphic design of it. Hands down 100% glad I went with PowerHouse. Even neighbors and friends have already commented on well of job they did and wished their contractor was just as good. If you have any doubts just invite Steve over for a chat and you will see for yourself your money will definitely go the length and you will not be disappointed.

Steve, the owner, and Jose, the lead carpenter, did an amazing job on our screened in porch and…read moredeck. They are the total package; attentive, courteous, thorough, skilled, meticulous and fast! From beginning to end our experience was a pleasurable one. The end result went above and beyond our expectations. We bought a foreclosure 12 years ago and have been steadily updating everything on the interior and exterior. Never has any of our remodel jobs gone as smoothly, nor has any exceeded our expectations the way this project did. I would hire this team again without hesitation.

I spent more than 3 hours with the PWI representative. He came up with an estimate and I mentioned…read morea competing one. He instantly produced one in that range, citing a 30 day window as the reason for the discount. It seemed to me that his spreadsheet generated the new estimate to match the information I provided from the other company. Then he offered a substantial discount if I allowed PWI to take before and after photos, put a sign on my lawn, or post a review on social media. It seemed too good to be true, so I asked three times if I incurred any legal obligations or commitments by signing; he replied "no"each time. After signing, he informed me this agreement required a significant and immediate deposit. This deposit is refundable only by initiating Virginia's three day cancellation rule, which seems onerous, and obviously, includes considerable time pressure. I ripped up the agreement.

Here is a review I also left on google -…read more I reached out for a quote on a deck restoration/re-decking project based on the company's strong reviews on both the Trex website and Google. The representative was on time, personable, and clearly knowledgeable. However, after spending over two and a half hours reviewing their presentation and proposal, the quoted price came in at 70% higher than the average of four other estimates we had already received -- all from companies also vetted through Trex and with solid reputations. Even with the time-sensitive incentives (13% off for signing on the spot, plus another 7% off if they could use our project for before/after marketing), their price was still 45% higher than the others. During the presentation, the rep proudly mentioned that 93% of their customers sign immediately after the appointment. I can only assume those folks didn't get multiple quotes. To be clear, I believe Prince William Home Improvement is a solid company and would likely do a great job. I just can't justify paying 45-70% more for a project when other equally reputable companies are offering comparable quality for significantly less.

I worked with Dream Builders on a day to day basis for the last 11 months and it has been very…read morefrustrating. They cut a high voltage electrical main when digging the post holes. They poured a concrete patio over the high voltage electrical lines which I understand doesn't meet code. Our contract clearly states that Dream Builders will install drainage as required. After the first hard rain storm, see photos and video, Dream Builders salesman Rob, claimed that no one could foresee the amount of water that would drain to the patio. Looking at the photos, it is very easy to see that the downhill grade of the parking lot comes toward the patio. Yet a professional deck builder stated that it couldn't be predicted because they did not want to pay to make it right. Water has been inches from our door during several rainstorms. Late this afternoon, Dream Builders emailed us and stated that they would not be completing the job and offered an unfair partial refund for a fence and incomplete drainage along with the mess documented by Tom Keogh. Please examine the photos and video and form your own opinion. Update #1 We received a text message from the Dream Builders Project Manager stating that they would come fill in the holes that were left open and clean up the mud. See the attached last 3 photos. Stay away from Dream Builders at all cost! If everything goes well, everything will work out with Dream Builders. As soon as any problem arises they will cease communication, stall and attempt to turn the issue on the customer while asking the customer to pay for their mistake. After severing a high voltage wire, it took 6 months for Dream Builders to make an insurance claim and get the electrical fixed. The owner (Nick) and salesman (Rob) have zero moral courage and did not show up on our site since June of 2023. You would think the owner would be concerned about making things right but look at the last 3 photos, those were taken post cleanup on 15 Dec 23.

For those who don't want to read this whole thing: We don't recommend dream builders and suggest…read moreyou use a different company. We hired dream builders to replace the back porch on our house. We wanted to move from wood to the more permanent and long lasting Trex building materials. We also wanted stairs to the ground which we did not have on our porch. We were thrilled with the initial presentation. We hired them for, what was for us, a pretty large project. We were very disappointed and wish we had gone with a different company. - dream builders does not employ the workers. Our project was sub-contracted to a carpenter who sub-contracted to the workers he brought every day. On any given day, we had no idea who was coming to our house. We rarely saw an employee of dream builders. - In the demolition stage of our project, the crew ripped through both our underground downspouts and our sprinkler system requiring both to be repairs. I was informed that the contract requires me to put flags were all of those are located throughout the yard. Since I didn't, they are not responsible for the damage. I have no earthly idea where all of the sprinkler lines are laid throughout the yard. I find it hard to believe the workers couldn't stop when they felt a little resistance so they could determine if the item was important and fragile. It seemed lazy and unprofessional. It also seemed like a fine print scam. - We made an adjustment to our plan as the project got started (moving where the stairs reach the ground). We were provided a picture of what that adjustment would look like. When the stairs were about 1/2 way done, it looked nothing like what we expected. The stairs now were going to terminate right in the middle of our patio opening. We protested and we were told that the picture couldn't look exactly like the finished project; it was just an estimate. ??!!?? Are you serious? Even if that is the case, which I don't believe, we were never informed that such a result was a possibility. We were then charged more for them to correct what I fully believe was their error. Though they came down some in the cost they intended to charge us, from this point on we felt uneasy about the project and again scammed. - Included in our project were lights for the stairs to illuminate the steps. The finished project looked ridiculously amateurish. The wires were strung up under the wood panels with simple nails and remained totally visible. The power box was simply placed on a couple of nails driven into our siding. Nothing was wired into the house or stored in such a way as to look nice. It looked like I could have done it myself on a weekend project. Again, we protested and were told that the job they did was standard procedure. They don't employ an electrician and what we were asking for was both unrealistic and expensive. For the size (and cost) of our project, it deserved to look better. - Speaking of the electric box, the lights were merely plugged into our outdoor outlet. I asked of the safety of such an arrangement and was surprised it could even pass code. I was again told it was standard procedure. I was later told (by a contractor I trust a whole lot more than these guys) that the arrangement was neither safe nor up to code. He fixed it for us while doing another project (free of charge, BTW). - We had the wood posts under our deck wrapped to look nicer. Some of the posts were a bit taller than the wraps however and the wraps were not secured; they could slide up and down. - the project did not actually meet code initially. The carpenter did not install 2 x 8 beams under the bottom of the porch for extra stabilization. This was corrected but it makes me wonder where else they cut corners. Speaking of which, while building the upper landing for our stairs, we saw a small chunk of wood fly off as a result of being hit with a nail gun. Rather than replacing the board that now had a piece missing, the worker just kept on nailing. Agin, we were assured the piece was not structurally required and nothing was wrong with the board. In the end, the porch and stairs are completed and look adequate structurally. I have little doubt that they will last and I have no concern with my family being out there. That's the end of the good news. The process cost far more than we thought it should have for the work they did. The communication and interaction with the company was substandard. I did not appreciate having our project subbed to someone who then subbed it out again. We felt cheated out of money for their design flaw. The accessories look no better than doing it myself (we hire other people for a reason). We paid them a significant amount of money (at least for us) and it constantly seemed like they were trying to cut corners and maximize their profit instead of focusing on a great finished project. I wish we had gone with someone else.
